    I bought a new incubator on ebay...

    I'm kind of late to the party, but how has this incubator worked for you? Looking at a similar model on Ebay. I'm tempted by the fact that it's plastic and... to be honest, cheaper than Brinsea.

    So what's a Golden 300 hybrid duck made of anyway?

    I didn't, actually... I sold that batch of ducks when we moved and didn't get more ducks until recently. My current flock is mostly adolescent WH from Holderread with an older khaki and runner I got from a neighbor. I keep meaning to get more Golden 300s someday, I really liked them. Merry

    SERIOUSLY? REALLY??

    Love my Katahdins and random Blackbelly! They mow/fertilize my pasture and provide me with meat and money from babies, but they also come running the minute I set foot outside. :)

    Community Nest Boxes - Let me see 'em!

    I just wanted to add a bit to this thread, as it inspired me to try out a tunnel-style community box. Sorry that I didn't take pics before I put it into service, but the box itself looks like the average nesting box with a hinged roof from the outside. It's 7'x14"x14" with a bit of slope on...

    Aaaargh! Dog breeders!

    Quote: A congenital deformity is not necessarily genetic. I'd be asking his breeder if this is something that shows up in the line on a regular basis, and basing my decision off of that. As to the OP: I agree with the people who've told you to expand your search outside your chosen breeds...

    Who Has a Tempurpedic (sp?) Bed?

    We've had a memory foam mattress with a bamboo topper from BedInABox for about two years now. It's OK, but the latex beds I tried out were actually more comfortable. So was the Sleep-By-Numbers. We couldn't afford either of those, though. 8D One thing you'll never spend a lot of money on...

    Golden Cascades

    Thanks for the detailed run-down! It's good to be hearing more about this breed. I got some WH from Metzer's a year and a half ago who started out crazy like that. The pair I kept actually did calm down with time. Here's hoping you get the same results. My Golden 300s were great for...

    Humanity Disgusts Me

    Quote: I know a local breeder of Golden Comets who sells her baby roos to herpers. I'd never thought of the option, but told her it sounded like an excellent idea - no waste! Maybe hatcheries just don't realize there's a market?

    I've got to hand it to Twitch... once she gets down to it, she's all business. I've only been watching her for an hour and she went from eating to baby on the ground!
